Weekly competitions at Portmore consist of Tuesday night horse shows beginning at 7pm with a 70cm class. Friday night pony shows begin at 7.30pm starting with cross poles and our weekends typically enjoy unregistered horse and pony jumping on Saturdays with a 10.30am start at 50cm while our registered horse jumping usually takes place each Sunday starting with 80cm classes at the start of the year and 90cm from summer onwards. Portmore also host seasonal two, three, and four day registered championship shows for both horses and ponies, offering excellent opportunities for both competitors and sponsors alike as the competitions attract an audience from across the country.
